| Bitter Lake | comment |
Bitter Lake is the first full-length live-action movie created specifically to cater to a furry audience. The entire film is performed in full fursuits, shot entirely in France. 41 minutes long, the movie consists mostly of static dialog scenes as the characters first hold the actual peace talks, then switch briefly to a paranoid Whodunnit when they start getting killed. There's one short action scene near the end.The entire film can be watched on youtube here (posted by one of the film's creators): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaL4YJbXUysNot to be confused with the 2015 Documentary with the same name, or the actual Bitter Lake in Seattle, Washington. | |

Milking the Giant Cow | |
| Bitter Lake / int_20917b55 | comment |
Milking the Giant Cow: Since the faces have precisely one movement (opening and closing the mouth), the actors all overact their body language to try and sell the acting. | |

Succession Crisis | |
| Bitter Lake / int_2d768e2d | comment |
Succession Crisis: Arden is the crown prince of Valanor, and he would have taken the throne had his father not been assassinated while he was still a child. At the peace talks, one of his demands is that he be instated as king in the reunited Valanor. In addition, Belora wants independence for her province, Drraer's rebelled for some unspecified reason, Careth was the one who killed the king in the first place, and Arden's younger brother wants the throne for himself. | |

Ghost Town | |
| Bitter Lake / int_2dc3e97c | comment |
Ghost Town: Bitter Lake is utterly abandoned, presumably because it's neutral territory located in the exact middle of Valanor. | |

Collateral Angst | |
| Bitter Lake / int_35b8b13f | comment |
Collateral Angst: Belora has just enough time after the long debate scene to have a brief Ship Tease moment with Arden before she's assassinated, sending the men into a paranoid frenzy. | |

Funny Animal Anatomy | |
| Bitter Lake / int_401b7ada | comment |
Funny Animal Anatomy: Belora and Arden have digitigrade feet. Careth and Drraer have plantigrade. The disparity is because, rather than being custom-tailored for the movie, the actors added faux-medieval costumes to their own fursuits. | |

| Bitter Lake / int_48081842 | comment |
The Stinger: The new King Aelric receives a letter from "A Friend" warning him that forced peace is a lot like trust. As a black-furred figure with hand on a sword walks up behind him. It cuts to black with an Audible Sharpness sound effect. | |

Whodunnit | |
| Bitter Lake / int_588c0bf5 | comment |
Whodunnit: The final act of the movie is a paranoid scramble by the diplomats to find out which one of them is the assassin before they all end up killed. This boils down to a swordfight between Drraer and Careth. | |

Obfuscating Disability | |
| Bitter Lake / int_aa07ca54 | comment |
Obfuscating Disability: The brother of one of the main characters gets mentioned twice: once in the movie and once on the movie's website. Both times he's alluded to as being mentally disabled. Then he actually appears at the end, and it turns out he's actually not retarded in the slightest; his brother just always asserted that he was. | |

Impostor Forgot One Detail: Careth was the guy who murdered the king. The assassin impersonating him mocks Drraer by asking him how it feels to have a king's blood on his hands. Drraer points out that if anyone knows, it should be him. | |

Throwing Off the Disability | |
| Bitter Lake / int_e016e53f | comment |
Throwing Off the Disability: Arden's brother gets a one-off mention as being "retarded" (the website also makes a mention of him being "half-witted"). Then he actually shows up at the end of the movie and turns out to be not impaired in the slightest and the one who orchestrated the string of assassinations that makes up the end of the movie. He claims that he never really was, and Arden only told everyone he was retarded in order to discredit him. | |
